Our family has used the Ovation band for 3 different weddings including our most recent at the William Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh -June of 2025. This is the most fun band you could ever have at a wedding. Mark's group is professional, very accommodating, and incredibly talented. Lots of horns. We have always booked the large configuration and been very happy we did.
You will find this band the best investment in fun you can make at your wedding. All the brides and grooms in my large family that have had this band at their weddings agree.

This band was THE BEST!!! Our dance floor was rocking all night long. They crushed it for our first dance song- a new song for them that they agreed to learn!! Can’t recommend The Ovation Band more, I’d give 10/5 stars if I could.

ct. His professionalism throughout the entire planning process was truly unmatched and made everything feel effortless and stress-free.
The band’s energy was unbelievable. They kept the dance floor packed all night and interacted with our guests in the most fun and engaging way, making everyone feel included. Their musical talent is outstanding, and they seamlessly transitioned between songs to keep the momentum going. So many of our guests raved about how amazing the band was and said it was one of the best wedding receptions they’ve ever been to.
Mark and the Ovation Band truly brought our celebration to life. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend them a thousand times over!

Everyone had such a fun time. You were a pleasure to work with. The band kept the crowd engaged and kept people on the dance floor all night long.
I am beyond grateful and extremely appreciative for everything you did, not just for Alex and Kelly, but in regard to me as well. Not one detail, large or small went unnoticed.
Again, thank you! The day wouldn’t have been the success that it was without you guys. I am so thankful to have had you on my team to make the October 8, 2021, wedding a perfect success for the bride and groom and their families. I hope to work with you again in the near future.

When I first started planning our wedding, the number one thing on my list was a band that would have people of all ages dancing all night - man did The Ovation Band deliver! We ha...
d about 270 people at our reception and the floor was packed the entire night. In addition to rocking it out on stage, they also mingled throughout the crowd and interacted with guests, having them sing into the mic and dance along with the musicians. It was an incredible experience. The music bridged generations and had everyone from my 15-year old cousin to 94-year old great aunt dancing throughout the night. Multiple guests commented that it was the most fun wedding they've been to, and it was in large part thanks to Ovation. This band was a pleasure to work with, and I'd highly recommend them for your big day!

We had The Ovation Band for our wedding on July 20th and we are so happy with our decision! Marc was extremely easy to reach and responsive to any questions. He set up a time to me...
et in person to discuss details of the day which was very helpful. He is very knowledgable and experienced in keeping the evening running smoothly. One of the things my (now) husband and I really wanted was for all of the dances (first dance, mother/son, father/daughter) to be live, instead of recordings. He made this happen with ease! The band actually learned our first dance song and people are still talking about it today!
The band kept the crowd rocking all night and everyone danced! At times, some of the band members even moved off the stage and into the crowd which was REALLY fun!
Some of our guests had never been to a wedding with a live band before and they were amazed.
Thank you Ovation Band!!
